Did I do a bodge job on curtains?

I'm amazed that posters have managed to make a hole deep enough for a screw by bashing it in...
I presume we must be talking plaster board? There's no way I'd be able to do the same... My walls have had the better of many a masonry drill bit and have even come out on top versus my brand new cordless drill...0 -
BTW if you don't have rawl plugs, matchsticks can get you out of pickles sometimes. Not ideal, but I've botched things before when matchsticks have helped pack a hole enough for a strong screw fixing. It's a bodge, but it works when you're out of options, and what everyone used to use before rawl plugs existed ;-)0

Because each time I wrote on the DIY forum people do not respond to questions, I know from previous experience people respond here more(though not always politely)
Anyway I should of mentioned it is the wooden blocks above window frame that are designed to attach curtain poles to I meant not the bare wall0
